Rangers reminded Celtic gap is only getting wider as 'making progress' theory is shot down
dailyrecord.co.ukFormer Celtic star Mark Wilson has shut down Rangers fans' hopes that the gap between the Light Blues and their rivals is getting narrower, making a mockery of the Gers board's recent words.
A 3-2 derby day win for Celtic at the weekend saw them go 12 points clear of their bitter rivals at the top of the Scottish Premiership, all but wrapping up a second consecutive title under Ange Postecoglou whilst remaining unbeaten in six league clashes against the Gers.Despite the loss, Michael Beale has done a grand job at steering the ship; the loss at Parkhead was his first in the league since joining in November, with his only dropped points in the division coming against the Hoops.
But speaking to Go Radio, Wilson sought to disavow the Ibrox faithful of the notion that they are getting closer to the champions, insisting that constant claims of closing the gap don't stand up to scrutiny.The Gers have still dropped three more points than Celtic overall which has hampered their title chances - with Wilson detailing that you can't argue with facts.
He said: "Rangers fans, I'm sure, don't want to hear that. I'm sure they want to hear 'we're progressing and we're getting better, we will beat Celtic next season, we feel we are getting closer.'"It suggests that there isn't an awful long way to go to bridge the gap.
